September 26, 2016

WWE Smackdown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch recently appeared on ESPN’s Cheap Heat podcast, and below are some interview highlights:

On CM Punk’s UFC debut fight at UFC 203:

“I felt very uncomfortable, but man, fair play to him.”

On the negative comments made by Conor McGregor aimed at WWE stars:

“Look, McGregor is a businessman through and through. He’s obviously a wrestling fan.

“He used a wrestling line to offend wrestlers. He knows what he’s doing, he’s using wrestling-style promos. And it has gotten him to where he is today. He’s just being a smart businessman and fair play to him for it.”
